Among his unique students are a mermaid, a werewolf, a rabbit, and a bird. Tasked with teaching them about humankind, Rei might just find himself learning a few invaluable lessons along the way. This isn’t a tale of alternate worlds or reincarnation; it’s simply the engaging story of an unconventional teacher and his extraordinary students striving for humanity.
